I strained my calf while getting ready for the 5-month program (too much too soon), which I will finally be starting for the 2nd time on Tuesday the 22nd (doing the 20-min HR test tomorrow). Due to…Continue

"Dear Eric, it's the second time you take the time to answer my questions, thanks so much for taking the time to clarify everyone's doubts on the forum. Again, your book and born to run have been tremendously inspiring. I really hope I can…"
"Great advise everyone, thanks for your insight in helping Andres.
Andres, I would continue to retest for new training zones every 8 weeks or after each phase. And Ben's advise on consistency is really key.

"Thanks a lot for the thoughtful reading and the reply, Ben.
I have run most of my life to keep myself in shape and competitive to do other sports. After 33 or so, I have suffered injuries every 2 months while doing sports (soccer and tennis mainly),…"
"Hi, I had similar concerns to you and had a number of set backs due to injuries.
Although I agree it would be best to optimize training with dialed in HR and SP zones I think the best benefits will come through consistency and completing the…"
"You retake the tests partway through the program, if you're referring to the cool impossible program. Have you thought about doing the preparation phase (4 30-minute easy runs a week, for 3-6 weeks)? It sounds like maybe you could use it if you…"
Chanching HR and SP zones throughout 5-month program.
I strained my calf while getting ready for the 5-month program (too much too soon), which I will finally be starting for the 2nd time on Tuesday the 22nd (doing the 20-min HR test tomorrow). Due to the calf injury (and previous back injury) I didn't exercise for 5-6 months and prepared only 1 week prior to the speed test. Thus, I'm a bit overweight (about 7 pounds) and out of shape. I ran the mile in 7:30, but I'm sure under normal circumstances I could have done the mile in less than 7 mins…See More
"I'm curious, how often do you do the test to set HRZ and SZ?"
"Thanks for the post shared, Ben. Will definitely help for future training.
La Paz does offer what you point out, but it's very difficult to find flat terrain for the low HR runs. Read somewhere in the forum that Eric recommended walking vs…"
"Hello,
This is a very useful questions. I am just about done with the TCI program (which is great) and found the following post useful also.

Side point, I see you are from La…"
"Thanks a lot for the response, Eric!!!! I'm very excited to complete the program and see where it takes me. "
"Great question and I would only change the length of the long run. Depending on your ability, I would take the long run up to 20 miles in length versus the 3 hours in the program. The 3 hours might get you there??
All of the other…"
Five-month program for marathon...Eric writes in TCI more training needed
Hello, in TCI Eric mentions that the five-month program would be fair training for a marathon, but would require a bit more training. Does anyone know what would that be?I started the five-month program and got a back problem that kept me off the roads for 4 months and have to start all over from zero.
